As we near the end of April, the last event of the month has just begun. Make sure you keep up-to-date with the Arena Skimishes Bonus Event!

The event is running from Wednesday, 27th April - Monday, 2nd May and will give players a chance to earn a hugely increased amount of Honor from the Arena Skirmishes. This is a great chance for you to gear up those alts that haven't seen the light of day in months!

In case you've never participated in the Skirmishes and you're wondering how, here's Blizzard's official 4-point guide:

From anywhere in-game, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i)

Select the Player vs. Player tab on the bottom of the window.

Under Arena Battles, choose either 2v2 or 3v3.

Click the Join Battle button to be matched up with teammates.

Remember, if you're looking to farm quick Honor, make sure to leave games that are already lost! You can save yourself a lot of time if you leave and requeue, rather than waiting dead, while your Rogue teammate hides in stealth trying to kill the healer and fully-geared DPS on the enemy team.

Make sure you also pick up The Arena Calls, the event quest, which rewards 500 Conquest Points and Valor.

We have another interesting interview with Principal Exterior Level Designer Gary Platner and In-game Cinematic Project Director Terran Gregory by VG247. Check out the highlights!
Check out the full interview over at VG247.
Interview Highlights
Alex Afrasiabi designed Battle for Azeroth like it would be the last expansion.
Terran is really sad that gnomes didn't make an appearance in the cinematics, but CGI has its limitations to how many characters can be created.
Siege of Lordaeron included more characters than any other Blizzard CGI film before.
It's Blizzard's mission to tell the most compelling and emotional story that they can.
Making everyone enjoy the story in the same way is an impossible goal.
With the release of Warbringers: Sylvanas, Horde players started to show their discontent. There's even been one extreme case of targeted harassment aimed at Christie Golden.
Creating a story that revolves around an all-out war required bold decisions.
They knew the reactions to the burning of Teldrassil would be passionate, but they did exceed their expectations.
Storytelling is about highs and lows. Old Soldier would not have resonated so well without Warbringers: Sylvanas.
WoW is a living, breathing game. The team's always looking for ways to improve it.
They'll support WoW for as long as the players continue to give them support.
From a story perspective, they wondered how great an end WoW would need to have. It's an evergreen franchise that they've maintained like a "carefully-tended bonsai tree."

New cinematics have appeared as players reached level 120 on live servers.
The following article contains major lore spoilers!

Yesterday, we looked at the Horde intro to Zandalar, Jaina's nightmare and her arrival to Kul Tiras. Check out the cinematics here if you missed them.
Jaina's Visions & Reunion
Katherine sees Jaina relive painful memories. These include memories of Arthas, her father Daelin, Rhonin, and Varian. Mother and daughter are reunited at the end of the video.
Bwonsamdi Cinematic
King Rastakhan lost a mighty source of power after Prophet Zul killed Rezan. He enters a desperate pact with Bwonsamdi, the Loa of Death, to aid him in the battle ahead, but at what price...?
Zandalar Forever Cinematic
Here's the final cinematic that plays after you complete the Zandalar Forever scenario. Zul orders Mythrax to shatter the final seal and free G'huun just before Rastakhan kills him. Both Mythrax and Zul will be bosses in Battle for Azeroth's Uldir raid.
It's needless to say that Blizzard have outdone themselves with the Jaina cinematics. The Horde cinematics aren't bad too, but the strong Black Panther vibe makes them somewhat ridiculous. Do you agree?

Well, this was quite insane. It seems Method's Gingi decided to one-up his fellow teammate Fragnance, who got the WF level 110 in Legion in 5 and a half hours. Well, it took Gingi, or rather Luigingi, 4 hours and 17 or so minutes to finish up Battle for Azeroth's leveling, in a team of three, along with Method's Meeres and Deepshades, using his boomkin:

If you want to see how exactly he did it, you can check out his full leveling video, but it seems they just went for really REALLY fast questing (obviously tested on beta) with no special shenanigans involved (at least that I could find at first glance):

Method's Gingi dinged 120 in 4 hours 17 minutes!

Obviously, Deepshades and Meeres dinged very quickly after Gingi, and here are their full streams of the leveling process as well, linked to the final minute - Deepshades, Meeres.
And some thanks from the WF Gingi himself:

High population servers are currently experiencing issues preventing players from logging into the game and Blizzard is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Some players have not received their Heart of Azeroth according to latest reports.
Update: Blizzard is still trying to come up with a solution for both problems. Tichondrius will be restarted soon.

We're continuing to work on a solution for ongoing login issues and we're working to address this as quickly as possible. Tichondrius will be undergoing a rolling restart to test some changes shortly.
Affected realms include Area 52, Illidan, Tichondrius in North America as well as Draenor & Hyjal in Europe.

At this time, we are aware of and working to resolve an issue that is causing some players to be prevented from logging into certain high population realms. While it appears that not all high population realms are affected, the issue seems to be affecting realms such as US-Area 52, US-Illidan, US-Tichondrius, EU-Draenor, and EU-Hyjal.

This is an issue of highest priority for us, and we are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
